Summary

Harold Robbins, a novelist known for steamy passion in his works, stirs up passion of a different kind in The Adventurers, a story of revolution and danger in the sultry jungles of South America.

As a young boy, Diogenes Alejandro Xenos, witnesses the murder of his mother and sister by a band of marauders. As "Dax" grows to adulthood, he channels his fear and hatred into a desire for revolution, swearing revenge on those in power as he upsets the status quo. His actions make him an outlaw, living on the fringes of society in a land turned upside down with corruption. He is wanted by men and women alike-but for very different reasons.

This epic tale of escape from the horrors of a third-world regime is one of Harold Robbins' most ambitious novels ever, combining his trademark sensuality with political intrigue and a globe-spanning variety of exotic locales. Lose yourself in The Adventurers.

The first section of this book is amazing. Great characters and action. The book then loses its way for the longest time. It picks up again at the end but fails to meet the mark.

Strong start with a glacial finish

got.boring in some chapters. SEX and RAPE. with sex so common in the book they could do with either more lover info or less. the rape scenes were well written as much info to get the point across and motivate the readers emotions, without being grotesque or too offensive. very long tale with nice reminiscint accuracy.

a good tale
